A new year fast approaching

It is hard to believe that Christmas is fast approaching and a new year is rounding the corner.  And as most of you know I have had alot going on so much to where I can not share all of it on here due to the readers of my blog. Most of my loyal readers, Are are that I will be starting a blog to where I share a bit more than usual on .

I think i have the name completely figured out. I am thinking along the lines of The Fletcher Files - ( tag line - Join me in everyday life of Mommyhood and the Military)  but then again I am thinking something along the lines of  something else.  But yet that has yet to come to me.. I want something catchy. It is one of those thinking things.  The new name will be used to mark my photos with as well so I want something to reflect that as well.  It will be bigger and better:)

Yeah, I know some of you are probably thinking that I do not need to start another blog, but you know honestly. I guess that Crazy Life - Chaotic Wife has seen its better days. I mean I get so much grief and drama sometimes over the name and my post content. Yeah, I know most of you are thinking I should keep it and ignore everyone but its gotten crazy over the last few weeks and that is one reason why I have not posted much..  I don't know what is it with people and blasting what my post content is or what the name of the blog is and that is one thing that has gotten me down and made me thing about all of this..

After much debate and thinking for the past few days I am going to stick with the Fletcher Files,
The blog will have links to a photo project, book reviews and much more. All this will be starting at the first of the year so in between now and then i will be busy. ALL is being done on blogger, as much as I have thought about making it on wordpress I do not think i have the time or energy to do all wordpress before them.    The name book reviews and photo project will reflect  The Fletcher Files Blog name.
I thinking for the book reviews something along the lines of Fletcher Files Reviews ,   The photo-project since i am going to do a 365 it will be Fletcher Files 365.  I have an instagram all ready that i will be linking with it..   This is something i have wanted to do with a while now, just never could get them all to mix together as one.. But i think i finally have the name that will stick.

opinions. What does everyone think of the name or do you have any suggestions?
I am open, Nothing is concrete yet..

Nothing ever changes

Well a bit of an update from the last one. Homeschool is going well with Christianna. I just have to get her to remember her phone and ipod are off limits for a bit but she doesn't seem to realize the time. She thinks when she is done with school she can have them..  The other 2 are doing well in school and seem to be making the grades. Richard still have to bring his grades up but he is working on it.. 

School for me is going well.  I just have to make time for me to sit and do the work as well.. With Christianna being home all the time it is loud and she always needs the reminder to do the work. So I do not always have the time I need to do my school work.. I am guessing I really should get my self back into it..  

The past 2 weeks of November have been miserable.  Sunday November 3rd, I log into the joint Facebook Page I have with Rick and I hear the news that a soldier was lost. I was completely devastated as was Rick when we found who it was.  We lost yet another friend in Afghanistan. Every two years from September - November are the worst months.  We loose friends in either month and its pretty rough. Being a Military wife even just looking at the picture of the funeral and the video footage, you Cry right along with the family and spouse of the fallen soldier especially if it is one you know and your husband has deployed with many times.   To those readers in Kansas I am sure you have heard the news, seen the patriot guard riders as well as those who paid their respects to our fallen friend. It is very sad indeed. I still get all teary eyed and it breaks my heart.

Then on top of all that, A dear friend of ours received a not on her mail box asking her to remove her flag because it was tattered and it was a disgrace to those who fight under it. What I am guessing is these people have no idea she lost her husband. He died defending the freedom we all know and love. So these idiots can tell her to remove her flag. Seriously, Its a bunch of crap,

Its been a fun few weeks I tell you. I am hoping that things settle down soon and I can spend more time on here.  I guess I am going to go and get things done..


Hugs and Happy Blogging

Homeschool Bound

It has been a while since I posted and I figured I might as well give an update.

As most of you have read before about Bullying and The School System here. Unfortunately I have gotten no where with anything..  Christianna was being bullied so bad it started to get physical to where they started shoving her into lockers. Well after a number of calls to the school board, as well as the school with several complaints I was told that she is the one to blame.  The teacher were telling her she needed mental help, she needed to go see a counselor as well as telling her she was not worth much.  That pissed me off more than anything.. The principal said that Christianna was to blame,  and that he would make sure the teacher stopped being so negative to her. Well it continued. I spoke to the Superintendent  of the School System and she told me that she would speak to the school. Well that did nothing .     So the next step was to pull her out of the school all together. Rick and I decided to home school her. It is the best option since the school system here as much as they preach about ANTI- BULLYING THEY DO NOTHING TO HELP RESOLVE IT EXCEPT BLAME THOSE WHO IS BEING BULLIED! 

Christianna is not the only one this was happening to. A friend of mine. Her son started 6th Grade and the school and he was choked and kicked and all the school has to say is well at least the boy who did it is doing better than last year.  Nothing is being done at all on any Bullying Issue.  

We are homeschooling Christianna through K-12 and so far it is working well for her. 

She has her set list of assignments she does and so forth. She gets her complete set of books  Tuesday so she will be ready to go. Right now she is doing what she can without the materials and books in front of her.   She is excited to be home-schooled. She is doing good so far with school. She takes her time and gets the work done.  She is in school from 730 am till 3 pm.   So it is like a regular school day for her.  That is about it.. I will update more as she gets into the flow of working at home

Love and Hugs

When is it OK?

Since when has it ever been ok to Bully someone? Especially to the point to where they do not want to go to public school anymore and has asked non stop to be home schooled.  I don't get it. She is told suck it up and deal with it. Bullying happens on a daily bases. NOT OK..    The school is only willing to do so much, and she has filled out  a bully report.   I wonder what it is going to take before they actually do something.. Last year it was to the point to where Christianna has a broken arm due to it.. This year she got hit on school property before school started when she went in for Mentor orientation.  Cut into her Cheek with her teeth she got hit so hard and had a hard time eating. Now she is called fat and stupid because she likes One Direction and Taylor Swift.   She asked me 5 times yesterday if she was fat and when I told her no, She didn't believe me.   Yes, granted she is 13 and very vulnerable but still she is 110pounds and she is tall and skinny.  Rick is worried she will have an eating disorder but I am not sure. She loves food to much right now. but I think part of that is the age too..   I have gotten her to where she will blog and write things down in a notebook but sometimes I don't know if that is even enough.

Funny Story - have to share

So This Morning I was checking my email and I came across one with the Title RE- Your Blog
So I opened it. Inside I find a message questioning me about my Blog Name. I reply and simply ask why the title bugs her so. She stated that she is the Chaotic Crazy Wife, a blogger i am guessing,  and insists that I change the name of my blog. She has been using that name for almost 3 years now.  Granted I moved to this blog back in January of This Year from Forever Yours Faithfully. Seriously I do not get it, but will be willing to give up the name. To save peace and trouble.   I am not understanding why The name of my blog insults her so. Honestly it is not like the thought has never crossed my mind but I gave up on searching for something that fits me along time ago.  It is something that I am willing to do if I can find the right name that fits.

Simply put, I am an Army Wife of 14 years, A Mom of 3 Crazy Kids, 2 Lazy Dogs. Juggling School and Every Day Life. Whose Life Merely consists of homework, video games, cellphones, field training, deployments and teenage drama..

So before I had Forever Yours Faithfully and although I did like it I just could not see the name following my life, blog and everything else..

What I am looking for in a Blog Title.. It does not have to say anything about The Army or anything like that...

Some that have came across my mind is Blissfully Samii - I could since I use it for Instagram but not really sure how it fits the whole thing with blogger and what I blog about. If it was just me then maybe..  Since it is about my life and my family as well as the Military it does not go well..

Back to square one on that.   I am totally Clueless.. Will take help and suggestions


One  came to mine while arguing with my 15 year old..

Thanks for the comments

Time for School Once Again

It is just about time for School to start again.. Well in about 12 Days. I could not be happier.  This week we have been getting things ready for school. I have yet to put things in book bags but I guess that is one thing I tend to hold off on till the last minute. I am wondering where the hell time went, Really I have 3 kids going into different grades and into different schools anywhere from Grade School to High School.

You know I honestly thought that living on post here in Washington, They all would go to a School on Post.. Wrong.. Richard and Christianna have to be bused to schools off post. Diana is the only one who goes to school here on post.   Its crazy that most Military Installations anymore do not have their own school System.  Fort Sill and Lewis - McChord both go by the local school systems. Fort Campbell had DoD run schools when we were their.

I know the kids like going to regular school because you don't have to worry about Dress Codes. Honestly they are not all that bad, Well uniforms aren't anyway but they are so expensive when you have to buy 3 sets of them.  It saved on the kids regular clothes that is for sure.  The bad thing about Non - Uniform schools is the fact that they go through clothes like crazy and hell I thought school supplies were bad.  I have heard of school issuing Laptops or Kindles with books on them instead of hard back books. I think that would be alot better for the kids, well laptops anyway. This way they can communicate with the teachers and turn in work..

So anyways what is your back to school enjoyment. I think what i enjoy the most is the kids being gone and i get quiet time...   Below  is a picture of the supplies so far.  Still more to get

When is Enough, Enough?

When is Enough, Enough? Seriously?

I wonder sometimes I mean seriously. Kids now days think they have this whole entitlement thing and everything has to be handed to them. Christianna has a phone and got made and started bitching because her brick to her laptop is going out. She expects me to replace it.. Buy her new clothes, shoes all her school supplies, Pay for her birthday party and Get her tickets to go see the New  One Direction Movie..  Not sure what she is thinking lately..

Its bad enough she lives on her phone, she would live on the computer but it is currently down.. not sure if i want it fixed. She wants everything and expects us to give it to her.  

She is way Obsessed with One Direction and clearly denies  it. Every word out of her mouth is about them. 

Her user name for everything is about them.  So one begins to worry sometime. Do you just leave her alone and hope it is maybe a phase and she will grow out of it or somehow some way put a stop to it.. 

I do take her phone every day for a few hours at a time

Long Over Due Update

Follow my blog with Bloglovin It had been a while since I actually posted much of anything. It is finally time for a long over due update. It has been crazy here. On July 9th I had major dental surgery so I have been out from that. I am healing slowly and that is all anyone really needs to know right now.. As some know my aunt and uncle are visiting from West Virginia and its been spending time with them. Friends came from Texas to visit and it was a blast. So it has been a fun filled weekend. I need it especially after having dental surgery. We have been to the Ocean here, back to Mount Rainier ( no snow this time) We have been abit if every place possible. I will have pictures soon I promise. I have not had time to edit them all.. The Kids have been between here and spending the summer with Friends. I am guessing having them home for the summer is not completely going to happen lol.. Anyways, I will run for the moment but i will have an update and more pictures soon

I Survived

LOL, I know some of you are wondering about the title, after my weekend you will see.. So as some of you may know by following me on Facebook, that my youngest turned 8 on the 18th. We had a small birthday party here for her on the Friday after that. My Aunt and Uncle are in town and came out to the party.  It was alot of fun, but I tell you 5 screaming girls till 2 am is not the way to go.  The party was a success and I managed to get the house cleaned up fairly quickly after that.   I still have to take the tent down and wash sleeping bags but that isn't to bad.   Saturday morning was interesting that is a fact, our neighbor and friend had to be rushed to the ER, and hoping and praying we find out that is it nothing serious with that.

Christianna has had a friend over and they finally went home. Richard has his friend here and I can handle that as long as Richard Stops lying to my face. I am so sick of it..  Yesterday I went shopping with my aunt and cousin and it was fun.. Had a girls day.. A much needed one at that. Its been so long since I have actually been out and had a good time.. Its time for a much needed break, Anyways here are some pictures from the Birthday/Slumber Party Madness and preparation.

 

I hope you have enjoyed.. I look forward to hearing from you :)

Happy Blogging

 

Swamped

June started off with a bang I tell ya. It has been crazy here and busy. I am trying to catch up one everything.  If I could stop hurting my self I would be set lol. . I dropped a computer tower on my foot and it hurts like a BITCH. Rick thinks it may be fractured but we are going to wait and see if it swells anymore..    I guess it may be off to the ER for me :(  Not really sure that is what I want to do.  I am taking it easy as much as possible and doing very little :) This way I can not injure my self any more.

I have alot going on this month.  My Aunt and Uncle will be in town the 15th until the end of July. Not so bad. The kids will love it. She is going to be here for their birthdays.  They will like that it is usually just a gift or card in the mail.    I am trying to plan Diana's 8th Birthday Party. I know we are having  kids to the house and doing a Slumber party for a few.  So that should be fun.

I have been keeping busy trying to catch up on my designing as well as re-editing some of my older photography so I can post it..  I want to break the camera out and take pictures. I miss taking pictures :)   Also I decided I needed a centralized place for all of my links and family News and Updates so I don't over clutter this blog with things that only my family wants to here lol..   So I have created Blissfully Samii  It contains all of my links in one general place. Even my design blogs :)    I do love the way it came out too :)

OOO. My First Origami Owl is here and put together. Will definitely have pictures soon. It was so much fun putting it together.  Its about all I wanted to do since having the tooth pulled.. I am still sore from that.   Lots more dental work in the works this month and the beginning of July.  It is not going to be pretty and will be very painful.   Not looking forward to that at all..

Well I am off for now.. Going to head to bed. It is late and I am tired..  I have alot of work to catch up on and its not fun.. Slowly trying to get all that done and caught up. I have alot of pictures to go through and edit. I am trying to add alot of my older Photography to my new site with the new name :)  Alot of it is going to be re-editing it all and marking it with the new name..  I have abandoned my project 52. Not sure I guess moving kind of threw that one out the window.. I am seriously going to work on Some sort of photo project. I want to eventually do a 365 and a few other ideas. A monthly photo thing even.. Ive been taking alot of random pictures with my phone and posting them to Instagram.  Its addicting I swear..

I am going to close for now. I hope every one has a good weekend.

Happy  Blogging all and Good night

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it Over Yet

Oh Wow, Is May over with yet? Seriously it has been one Hell of a Month.. Seriously.    Alot going on this month and  no time for me :( Well that seems to be the way it works some times.. We get used to it especially as parents. We do not get breaks or sick days and right about now I need a break and a sick day. My throat has been killing me all day.     It seems to have been a productive month though. I managed to sweet talk Rick into 2 dogs. Sabo and Abby. Sabo is a 4 year old Chocolate Lab Mix and Abby is a 2 year old Chihuahua. Both spoiled and loved. Below is a picture of them



That is not the only thing keeping us busy. Between kids at school bullying Christianna because she is the new kid in school and the school doing nothing and Richard Physical Therapy because he wears a wedge since he is 10mm shorter on the left side. I will get into that now.. We took him in to the doctor before we left Oklahoma because his foot was hurting. Had ex-rays done and come to find out now they tell us he is 10mm on the one side shorter than the other.  So the doctor sends him to physical therapy, they put him in a wedge in his shoe for a while and we see how that works into play

We went to  a Little Fun Fest they had here on post for Military Appreciation day and Christianna stayed in one spot the entire time. Billy Unger from Disney's Lab Rats was here and she got to meet him and his autograph. She has not shut up about it..



Also we went to Skate Night with Diana's School. It was fun though the kids didn't skate much. Richard stayed home..  So here are 2 pictures from that night.




Also i managed to clean up my desk area yay and added another monitor.. So much more room. Yes i am a froggie Person lol.. Cant you tell.


With that i am going to go.. I will be back with more..

Happy Blogging and happy reading

OOO before i forget if anyone has instagram and has not followed me please do so at

Will follow back.

 

 

 

 

 

Meet Sabo

Meet Sabo,  4 year old Chocolate Lab Mix

He is a very good dog, He has been with us for almost 2 weeks now and is already spoiled. He get bones and toys when i go to the store.  He will lay at my feet.. He loves to play and just sleep during the day..

Weekend is almost Here

It is finally the weekend and I am glad.. Need to catch up on some much needed sleep..Although this weekend has been fairly well.. Rick finally gave in and we got a Dog. I wanted a smaller dog but you know, Its ok.. Sabot is a Lab/Shepard Mix and is very lovable. He follows me around like crazy and last night slept on the floor on my side of the bed. He is about 4 years old and is very discipline. Barks when someone is outside or at the door. Today I have been trying to get the info so I can register him on post. Finally got his shot records and tomorrow Rick is supposed to go and register him on post. I have to go to housing and get a fence permit. Yes, you have to have a permit to rent a fence here the yards are not fenced in.

I am hoping to have a few pictures of hims this weekend..

 

And So..

Well So It has been one thing after another here lately. I can not win. That is why the blog posts have been a little spread out. As you know Christianna hurt her wrist.. She wore the brace for about a week and decided she no longer needs it.. She goes to the Doctor the 10th for a recheck, after an x-ray on the 7th. So This week she is not wearing her brace and luckily she does not complain it hurts. So I am lucky their. Earlier this week, I ended up Driving OFF Post ( yes for the first time since we have lived here ) I Hate Traffic... Let Alone 3 lanes of traffic. Ok, back to what I was saying.. I had to pick her up from school. She was Sick.. So I took her to the doctor. OMG I hate the clinics here.. I was sent to 5 different clinics before I finally found the right one.. Christianna has allergies. So she has meds to help with those.. Never the less I am going to be in trouble when my allergies decide to kick in full gear. I have a sinus headache now but that is it. Hoping it will go away soon. The weather has been really nice out and I am enjoying it.. Everyone says it is to early for it to be in the 80's here. So I can only imagine what the summer holds. If it is anything like Oklahoma and it's heat I am in trouble.. It is one of those wait and see things I guess..

So as you may have noticed my Project 52 stopped. I guess I am not sure what to do with that.. I want to finish it, But i am behind right now on it and it is alittle to late in the year to try and catch up. So I am not sure what to do with that. I am thinking either start a new photo project or something.. I need some ideas.. I So want to do a Project 365 but I take more pictures with my cell than I do anything else. Any ideas or suggestions..

Well I am off for the night.. I am hoping To be back tomorrow with another post :)

Love and hugs
Happy Blogging

What a Week

What a week, Though it is only Wendesday but it has been a MAD HOUSE OF A WEEK! First Monday Christianna called from school saying her wrist her. OK, I admit I thought nothing of it at first, Except it being a play to get out of school for the rest of the day. Well I was Wrong.. She came home, Her entire Right hand (she is right handed by the way) is swollen and turning blue and purple. I feel it and its ICE COLD.. My first thought is she some how pinched a nerve or some how a vein is blocked.. Well I wait till Rick gets home and he looks at his.. His first thought was Emergency Room. I knew that was coming from his mouth. Not something I wanted to do.. Needless to say I had him Drop Both of us off because he had the other two to deal with and I didn't want to drive.. I sit in the waiting room for alittle over an hour and finally get called back. Then once back to a room they send us to get XRAYS and back to the room.. I sit their and wait 45 minutes later a doctor comes in.. They dont see much on the XRAY. Another hour later another doctor came and Thought he seen a possible break and a fracture. Ok, They splint it and tell me that they are going to let the radiologist look at it. So Finally it is 9:45pm and they come back in. Don't tell me if its broke, Fractured or what. No meds for pain or anything. The clinic calls Tuesday and asks how she is doing. I tell them that she is still in pain and they have me take her in.. Well HELL That took FOREVER... I was late for the appointment due to I had to find a place to park and when I did I had to walk a mile to the Hospital.. Got inside and the next task find the clinic well went to the wrong one.. Finally get to the wrong one, they give me a hard time because I don't have her ID Card With me.. Okay, She was hurting and it was the last thing on my mind.. She is seen finally and after an hour of listening to the DR yell because this is considered BULLYING AT SCHOOL and IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED. Well, No SHIT Seriously, She tells me one thing and the doctor another.. She said she was pushed and then trampled over.. She tells me that she was knocked into the door and fell down and tried to catch her fall.. Ok, So call the school and bitch but what is it going to solve if she does not tell me what really happened. I get that she is the new girl in school still and she is not with the in crowd.. Seriously not something I can help with that. She will get their and make friends she always does.. So I find out that she has what is considered a concussion of the arm.. NOT SURE HOW THAT WORKS BUT OK.. I know she has a small hair line fracture. She is to wear the splint and go in for a repeat XRAY and Doctor follow up Next Month. I can do that.. I was told to go and get a temp ID from the Tricare office in the Hospital so I can get her meds.. Get there and told no they do not do them. Next thought was call Rick and have him bring me her ID. Took like 5 tried and finally got through. Waited for him to come home and grab the ID and Drive all the way out to the Hospital. 30 Minutes not to bad. Lesson learned ALWAYS KEEP THEIR ID CARDS LOL So we get coffee and wait. No big deal.. He brings me the ID and I talk to him for a few minutes and he comes to the house for Lunch. I go to the pharmacy and grab a number for the Prescription. Sit their for 3 hours and they call my number.. Then another 10 minutes waiting in line. Up at the window that goes by pretty quick.. We finally get home at 230. Just in enough time for Richard and Diana to get home from school. Richard of course is mad because Christianna can not help with chores and he has to do them. Seriously he will get over it. I do not get their argument over the chores. Rick has said we will pay them.. The older 2 gets 21.00 a week and Diana is 7.00 a week..
The older 2 hand over 40.00 a month for their cell phones but still that is alot of money for them in 1 months time I think it comes out to 44 a month for Richard and Christianna.. Minus the days they do not do the chores or do them correctly. They loose a day of pay for that. Ok, I am not sure at this point if I want to do that but then again it will give them some concept of money and management and everything. They have to pay their cell phone bills in order to keep them. If they want a new phone they have to save the money and upgrade it. As well as if they want a new computer they will save to do so.. I am not buying them things especially if they do not appreciate it.. Richard is all the time complaining he needs a new computer.. The last time I checked a new computer was WANT not a NEED.. Chrisitanna has a hand me down. Broke screen, The CD Rom Drive is completely broke.. It does the internet lets her listen to music and youtube and she is happy.. Not once does she say she needs a new computer only wants a new computer eventually.. She already has decided she is saving money for a new phone.. The girl has gotten the worst of everything. Diana I tool her computer away. I got tired of her ignoring everything told to her.. I really wish she would listen. She is to worried about playing with her friends.. I guess I can understand she never really had friends to play with in Oklahoma unless we went to Texas. Then she never wanted to leave. Ok, Who can blame her on that on though.

Well I am done rambling for the night.. I am off to bed.. I have been so tired lately..
Good Night and Sweet Dreams..

Random Thought

Ok, So I am not really sure what brought my self to think of this but earlier I was sitting here 

and a new name popped into my head. Gazing Lily. I am not sure exactly for what 

or if it is supposed to be a photography name. This is odd. I know that things will come to you 

for no reason if they are meant to be but honestly I like my Infinite Rose Photography.  I guess that 

in time the reasoning for the name will come to be but I am seriously curious now.  I 

know things come to you for a reason but WHAT and WHY... 

Okay I am off Now.. Happy Blogging 

Settling Down

So if you ask me today, do I regret the decision to come to Ft Lewis, I am not sure on what type of response you will get. Part of me does regret the decision to move so far away from friends and family, but then again part of me is glad we made the move. I got to see parts of the US that I never thought I would see.  Yes, It took us 4 days of Driving and Hotels to get here but that is over and we are settled in. 

The kids are in their new schools and they seem to be adjusting well to them. Rick is in his Unit and 

is getting used to being on a Line Unit once again. That just means more Field time and training to me. It is something you get used to though. Although I have not had to deal with it much for the past 3 years. That may take some time to get used to.   Me on the other hand I am  settled. I have the house unpacked, I still have 2 boxes of clothes to wash once I figure out how to get the smell out of them. The movers some how managed to get Diesel on them and I am not sure how to get that out.  I have yet to get my daily routine down but I am working on that. I need to get  back to work on my Project 52. I am only a few weeks behind on that since the move. I have taken pictures though. I have so much I need to get done and it seems like I have very little time to do so.. Usually I keep music going and I can concentrate better and get things done but of course it seems from  6 am till 2 pm is not enough time to do anything I want to do.   I just need to work on time management a little bit better.  So wish me luck on that one.. You know I have been slacking because  I have yet to finish the next book I started lol.. I am hoping once I sit down, I can finish it.  I think I am about 10 chapters in on it though..  

I have on the other hand gotten into baking more since we have been here. No Cupcakes, but I tend to 

make muffins or cinnamon rolls in the morning.  I guess that counts for something too.  I guess it helps me adjust a little bit better. The weather here is definitely different from Oklahoma and takes some getting used to.  It is usually rainy but today it is Cold and Clearing a bit more. I guess I was hoping with it being on the Pacific Coast it would be Warmer and Wet. I was wrong on that lol. Rather it is cold and wet. That is going to take some time to adjust to. Oh well. As long as I can stay inside I am good. The kids have spring break soon and Richard is going to spring camp for ROTC. So it is going to be me and the girls.  I am thinking a Mini Photo Session with the Girls is in order lol. I have People complaining they have not gotten any new school pictures of the girls.  

Well I guess I am going to go and see what I can get done before the kids start coming home from school.  

I am still trying to get used to the different times they start school and get home.  Diana goes in at 730 and gets home at 230. Richard goes at 630 and is home by 230, Christianna goes at 8 am and gets home at 330. 

Big difference on those here.  

I will have pictures soon and hopefully an update for project 52! 

Half Days

Ok, So I can understand a few half days through out the year for the schools, but you know a week full of half days is enough to drive anyone absolutely crazy. I have yet to figure out what they school system is thinking. They have 2 more half days this month and Spring Break the First week in April. Oh Yea, This is going to be fun. Just my luck Rick will have to go away for some kind of odd training. Who knows but I am hoping that is not the case lol.

Other than that things have came together completely well. I finally have all the books where they belong. It only took 2 weeks and  book shelves lol..  I am liking the end results though. It looks good..
Finally the house is becoming a home. I still have not made it off post by my self yet lol. I guess that is one thing that may take me forever to do. I am starting to know where things are on post though..

Well that is about it for now. I am working on my Photography blog. Well If people would stop trying to claim and us every name I do ..

I will have links for you soon

Random Thoughts

So today, My brain has been wondering today, probably a bad thing lol. 

So I have been thinking that as much as I do love this blog and my followers 

I am thinking that in the New Year ( 2013) I am thinking either a new blog, I will still have this one up, But I think that sometimes Forever Yours Faithfully does not always fit everything I blog about. 

Life, Family, Kids and the Military. I mean it is just random thoughts at this moment but who knows. 

It may come about in more than thought form but I am not sure. I would have to do some crunching and come up with a name, a layout and everything else.  In the new year, I am determined to complete some form of photography project. Especially since we will be moving to Washington soon.  I have always put things off and this time I am determined to do so.. In the new year, I want to blog more, complete a photo project, and more.   

So what is the thoughts on the whole blog process and everything else.  

Thoughts and input are welcome, If I do decide to do all of this I will have a list 

of names that I have in mind soon..

xoxo

Long time No Update

I know it has been a while since I have actually updated. It has been crazy here and  I haven't had the time to do much of anything really..  The kids have had half days and everything, Not to mention Thanksgiving Break.  That was an interesting time! NOT REALLY, but what ever. Rick was off for a few days and it was ok. We went to Texas for Thanksgiving and had a blast.  Diana learned how to semi ride a bike. Silly Girl.. I will share a picture of her and the bike.. 

Delta Battery got a new commander near the middle of the month. I like the new commander and his wife, but we are still leaving in March so it doesn't change anything..  LOL
In a way I am not looking forward to moving the kids but it has to be done. I am really looking forward to moving out of Oklahoma.. I guess it really would not be so bad if I didn't hate this place so much or if we were in a different unit. I guess Its just me..  I am looking forward to moving to Washington though. We need a change and definitely a place to start. I will be glad when we are ready to leave Oklahoma.  I am not sure the kids ready to move especially in the middle of the school year. Unfortunately I can't wait until June to move. I guess we will make the best of it like always.
That is enough for now but I will be back soon with more..
